Tips
- Airfryers work best for crispier peels.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan; lay peels in a single layer.
- Heat your pan in the oven first for a couple minutes, then lightly spray with oil and add peels.
- Pat dry the peels with a paper towel after peeling to reduce water content for better crispiness.
